Bunbury, who also damaged the LCL in the knee, is expected to need at least six months to recover. He will miss the rest of the MLS season, in a blow for Sporting Kansas City, which is atop the MLS Eastern Conference but seeing its lead over New York dwindle.

Bunbury was hurt Sunday as Sporting Kansas City scored early against the Red Bulls, en route to a 1-1 tie. He tried to play through the injury before leaving 10 minutes later.

In a tweet earlier this week, Bunbury thanked fans for their support: "Thank you all for the get well wishes! It means so much. You guys are the best. Feeling stronger already. God is good, God is great."
